Even Squirrel Cage

If I have to do squirrel cage, I would begin by making tools which help me get over the repetition. A squirrel cage yields an instant gratification. Such a gratification saps ones creativity.


But I agree that a complex problem is usually hard to deal with directly. Doing a mindless job in a blind way sometime reveals an underlying structure of a problem. Struggling in a squirrel cage, a smart solution may suddenly becomes clear. I believe this approach is better than just losing in meditation.
